Description

顯示裝置、顯示驅動裝置、顯示裝置之驅動方法及具備顯示裝置之電子機器 Display device, display driving device, driving method of display device, and electronic device having display device

本揭示係關於具有電流驅動型之顯示元件之顯示裝置、用於如此之顯示裝置之顯示驅動裝置及驅動方法、以及具備如此之顯示裝置之電子機器。 The present disclosure relates to a display device having a current-driven display element, a display driving device and a driving method for such a display device, and an electronic device having such a display device.

近年來,在進行圖像顯示之顯示裝置之領域中,作為發光元件開發出使用根據流動之電流值變化發光亮度之電流驅動型之光學元件,例如有機EL(Electro Luminescence:電致發光)元件之顯示裝置(有機EL顯示裝置),並逐步推進商品化。發光元件不同於液晶元件等係自發光元件,無需光源(背光)。因此,有機EL顯示裝置與需要光源之液晶顯示裝置相比,具有圖像之可見度較高、消耗電力較低、且元件之應答速度較快等之特徵。 In the field of display devices for image display, in recent years, as a light-emitting element, a current-driven optical element that uses a light-emitting luminance according to a current value of a flow, for example, an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) element has been developed. A display device (organic EL display device) was gradually commercialized. The light-emitting element is different from a self-luminous element such as a liquid crystal element, and does not require a light source (backlight). Therefore, the organic EL display device has a feature that the visibility of the image is higher, the power consumption is lower, and the response speed of the component is faster than that of the liquid crystal display device requiring a light source.

在顯示裝置中,驅動電路對矩陣狀配置之像素進行控制。例如,於專利文獻1中揭示有一種顯示面板,其具備掃描儀驅動,其具備位移暫存器、及連接於此位移暫存器之各輸出端子之轉換器。 In the display device, the drive circuit controls the pixels arranged in a matrix. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a display panel including a scanner driver including a shift register and a converter connected to each output terminal of the shift register.

但,驅動像素時,需要其驅動信號常為較大之振幅。因此,驅動電路宜為產生如此之振幅較大之驅動信號者。 However, when driving a pixel, its driving signal is often required to have a large amplitude. Therefore, the drive circuit should be such that a drive signal having such a large amplitude is generated.

因此,宜提供可產生振幅較大之驅動信號之顯示裝置、顯示驅動裝置、驅動方法、及電子機器。 Therefore, it is preferable to provide a display device, a display driving device, a driving method, and an electronic device which can generate a drive signal having a large amplitude.

本揭示之一實施形態之顯示裝置具備第1電晶體、第1電容元件、及單元像素。第1電晶體係具有閘極、汲極、及源極者。第1電容元件係具有第1端子、及連接於第1電晶體之汲極或源極之第2端子者。單元像素係基於第2端子之電壓而被驅動者。 A display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first transistor, a first capacitor, and a unit pixel. The first electro-crystalline system has a gate, a drain, and a source. The first capacitive element has a first terminal and a second terminal connected to the drain or source of the first transistor. The unit pixel is driven based on the voltage of the second terminal.

本揭示之一實施形態之顯示驅動裝置具備第1電晶體、及第1電容元件。第1電晶體係具有閘極、汲極、及源極者。第1電容元件係具有第1端子、及連接於第1電晶體之汲極或源極之第2端子者。 A display driving device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first transistor and a first capacitor. The first electro-crystalline system has a gate, a drain, and a source. The first capacitive element has a first terminal and a second terminal connected to the drain or source of the first transistor.

本揭示之一實施形態之驅動方法係對第1電晶體之汲極或源極施加脈衝信號,對第1電容元件之第1端子施加其他之脈衝信號,並基於第2端子之電壓驅動單元像素者,其中上述第1電容元件具有第1端子、及連接於與第1電晶體之汲極及源極中之施加有脈衝信號之端子不同之端子之第2端子。 In the driving method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a pulse signal is applied to the drain or the source of the first transistor, another pulse signal is applied to the first terminal of the first capacitor, and the pixel is driven based on the voltage of the second terminal. The first capacitor element includes a first terminal and a second terminal connected to a terminal different from a terminal to which a pulse signal is applied to a drain and a source of the first transistor.

本揭示之一實施形態之電子機器係具備上述顯示裝置者,例如,電視裝置、數位相機、個人電腦、攝像機或移動電話等之便攜式終端裝置等符合。 An electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the display device, for example, a television device, a digital camera, a personal computer, a video camera, or a mobile terminal device such as a mobile phone.

在本揭示之一實施形態之顯示裝置、顯示驅動裝置、驅動方法、及電子機器中,第1電容元件之第2端子連接於第1電晶體之汲極或源極,並基於此第2端子之電壓驅動單元像素。此時,對與第1電晶體之汲極及源極中之第1電容元件所連接之端子不同之端子施加脈衝信號,且對第1電容元件之第1端子施加其他之脈衝信號。 In a display device, a display driving device, a driving method, and an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a second terminal of the first capacitive element is connected to a drain or a source of the first transistor, and based on the second terminal The voltage drives the unit pixels. At this time, a pulse signal is applied to a terminal different from the terminal to which the first capacitive element of the drain and the source of the first transistor is connected, and another pulse signal is applied to the first terminal of the first capacitive element.

根據本揭示之一實施形態之顯示裝置、顯示驅動裝置、驅動方法、及電子機器,因設置第1電晶體、與連接於第1電晶體之汲極或源極之第1電容元件,故可產生振幅較大之驅動信號。 According to the display device, the display driving device, the driving method, and the electronic device of the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the first transistor and the first capacitor element connected to the drain or the source of the first transistor are provided, A drive signal with a large amplitude is generated.

驅動部20之掃描線驅動部23對掃描線WSL,依序施加具有2個脈衝PP1、PP2之掃描信號WS(圖6(A))。此時,掃描線驅動部23在1水平期間(1H)內,對1個掃描線WSL施加2個脈衝PP1、PP2。電源線驅動部26對電源線PL,施加包含脈衝PP1之開始時序(例如時序t1)之特定期間(例如時序t0~t2之期間)成為電壓Vini,其他之期間成為電壓Vccp之電源信號DS(圖6(B))。資料線驅動部27對資料線DTL,在包含脈衝PP2之特定期間(例如時序t4~t7之期間)內施加像素電壓Vsig,於其他之期間內施加電壓Vofs(圖6(C))。 The scanning line driving unit 23 of the driving unit 20 sequentially applies the scanning signals WS having the two pulses PP1 and PP2 to the scanning line WSL (FIG. 6(A)). At this time, the scanning line driving unit 23 applies two pulses PP1 and PP2 to one scanning line WSL in one horizontal period (1H). The power supply line drive unit 26 applies a power supply signal DS to the power supply line PL in a specific period (for example, a period t0 to t2) including the start timing of the pulse PP1 (for example, the period t0 to t2) to be the voltage Vini, and the other period to be the power supply signal DS of the voltage Vccp. 6(B)). The data line drive unit 27 applies the pixel voltage Vsig to the data line DTL for a specific period including the pulse PP2 (for example, during the period from t4 to t7), and applies the voltage Vofs during other periods (FIG. 6(C)).

如此般,驅動部20在1水平期間(例如時序t1~t7)內,驅動第k行之子像素11,在下一水平期間(例如時序t7~t8)內,驅動第(k+1)行之子像素11。且,驅動部20在1幀期間內,驅動顯示部10之全部之子像素11。 In this manner, the drive unit 20 drives the sub-pixels 11 of the kth row in one horizontal period (for example, the timings t1 to t7), and drives the sub-pixels of the (k+1)th row in the next horizontal period (for example, the timing t7 to t8). 11. Further, the drive unit 20 drives all of the sub-pixels 11 of the display unit 10 in one frame period.

In FIGS. 7(B) to (E), the waveforms are displayed using the same voltage axis.

驅動部20在1水平期間(1H)內,進行子像素11之初始化(初始化期間P1)、進行用於抑制驅動電晶體DRTr之元件不均一對畫質之影響之Vth校正(Vth校正期間P2)、對子像素11進行像素電壓Vsig之寫入且進行μ校正(寫入‧μ校正期間P3)。且,其後,子像素11之有機EL元件OLED以根據所寫入之像素電壓Vsig之亮度發光(發光期間P4)。於以下進行其詳細之說明。 The drive unit 20 performs initialization (initialization period P1) of the sub-pixel 11 in one horizontal period (1H), and performs Vth correction (Vth correction period P2) for suppressing the influence of the component unevenness of the driving transistor DRTr. The sub-pixel 11 is written with the pixel voltage Vsig and subjected to μ correction (writing ‧ μ correction period P3). Then, the organic EL element OLED of the sub-pixel 11 emits light according to the luminance of the written pixel voltage Vsig (light-emitting period P4). A detailed description thereof will be given below.

首先,電源線驅動部26在先於初始化期間P1之時序t0中,使電源信號DS自電壓Vccp變為電壓Vini(圖7(B))。藉此,驅動電晶體DRTr成為接通狀態,且將驅動電晶體DRTr之源極電壓Vs設定成電壓Vini(圖7(E))。 First, the power supply line drive unit 26 changes the power supply signal DS from the voltage Vccp to the voltage Vini at the timing t0 before the initialization period P1 (FIG. 7(B)). Thereby, the driving transistor DRTr is turned on, and the source voltage Vs of the driving transistor DRTr is set to the voltage Vini (FIG. 7(E)).

接著,驅動部20在時序t1~t2之期間(初始化期間P1),將子像素11初始化。具體而言,在時序t1中資料線驅動部27將信號Sig設定成電壓Vofs(圖7(C)),掃描線驅動部23使掃描信號WS之電壓自低位準變化為高位準(圖7(A))。藉此,寫入電晶體WSTr成為接通狀態,且將驅動電晶體DRTr之閘極電壓Vg設定成電壓Vofs(圖7(D))。如此般,藉由將驅動電晶體DRTr之閘極、源極間電壓Vgs(=Vofs-Vini)設定成大於驅動電晶體DRTr之閾值電壓Vth之電壓,以使子像素11初始化。 Next, the drive unit 20 initializes the sub-pixel 11 during the period t1 to t2 (initialization period P1). Specifically, at the timing t1, the data line driving unit 27 sets the signal Sig to the voltage Vofs (FIG. 7(C)), and the scanning line driving unit 23 changes the voltage of the scanning signal WS from a low level to a high level (FIG. 7 (FIG. 7) A)). Thereby, the write transistor WSTr is turned on, and the gate voltage Vg of the drive transistor DRTr is set to the voltage Vofs (FIG. 7(D)). In this manner, the sub-pixel 11 is initialized by setting the gate and source-to-source voltage Vgs (=Vofs-Vini) of the driving transistor DRTr to a voltage greater than the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor DRTr.

接著,驅動部20在時序t2~t3之期間(Vth校正期間P2),進行Vth校正。具體而言,電源線驅動部26在時序t2中使電源信號DS自電壓Vini變化為電壓Vccp(圖7(B))。藉此,驅動電晶體DRTr在飽和區域動作,電流Ids自汲極流動於源極。藉由此電流Ids源極電壓Vs上升(圖7(E))。此時,由於源極電壓Vs低於有機EL元件OLED之陰極之電壓Vcath,故有機EL元件OLED維持逆向偏壓狀態,電流不流動於有機EL元件OLED。由於因如此般源極電壓Vs上升,閘極、源極間電壓 Vgs下降,故電流Ids下降。藉由此負反饋動作,電流Ids向「0」(零)收縮。換言之,為使驅動電晶體DRTr之閘極、源極間電壓Vgs與驅動電晶體DRTr之閾值電壓Vth相等(Vgs=Vth)而收縮。 Next, the drive unit 20 performs Vth correction during the period from t2 to t3 (Vth correction period P2). Specifically, the power supply line drive unit 26 changes the power supply signal DS from the voltage Vini to the voltage Vccp at the timing t2 (FIG. 7(B)). Thereby, the driving transistor DRTr operates in the saturation region, and the current Ids flows from the drain to the source. Thereby, the current Ids source voltage Vs rises (FIG. 7(E)). At this time, since the source voltage Vs is lower than the voltage Vcath of the cathode of the organic EL element OLED, the organic EL element OLED maintains a reverse bias state, and current does not flow to the organic EL element OLED. Since the source voltage Vs rises as a result, the voltage between the gate and the source As Vgs drops, the current Ids decreases. With this negative feedback action, the current Ids shrinks to "0" (zero). In other words, the gate and source-to-source voltage Vgs of the drive transistor DRTr are contracted by the threshold voltage Vth of the drive transistor DRTr (Vgs=Vth).

接著,掃描線驅動部23在時序t3中,使掃描信號WS之電壓自高位準變化為低位準(圖7(A))。藉此,寫入電晶體WSTr成為斷開狀態。且,資料線驅動部27在時序t4中將信號Sig設定成像素電壓Vsig(圖7(C))。 Next, at timing t3, the scanning line driving unit 23 changes the voltage of the scanning signal WS from a high level to a low level (FIG. 7(A)). Thereby, the write transistor WSTr is turned off. Further, the data line drive unit 27 sets the signal Sig to the pixel voltage Vsig at the timing t4 (FIG. 7(C)).

接著,驅動部20在時序t5~t6之期間(寫入、μ校正期間P3),對子像素11進行像素電壓Vsig之寫入且進行μ校正。具體而言,掃描線驅動部23在時序t5中,使掃描信號WS之電壓自低位準變化為高位準(圖7(A))。藉此,寫入電晶體WSTt成為接通狀態,驅動電晶體DRTr之閘極電壓Vg自電壓Vofs上升至像素電壓Vsig(圖7(D))。此時,由於驅動電晶體DRTr之閘極、源極間電壓Vgs大於閾值電壓Vth(Vgs>Vth),且電流Ids自汲極向源極流動,故驅動電晶體DRTr之源極電壓Vs上升(圖7(E))。藉由此種負反饋動作,抑制驅動電晶體DRTr之元件不均一之影響(μ(移動率)校正),將驅動電晶體DRTr之閘極、源極間電壓Vgs設定成對應像素電壓Vsig之電壓Vemi。 Next, the drive unit 20 writes the pixel voltage Vsig to the sub-pixel 11 and performs μ correction during the period from t5 to t6 (write, μ correction period P3). Specifically, at timing t5, the scanning line driving unit 23 changes the voltage of the scanning signal WS from a low level to a high level (FIG. 7(A)). Thereby, the write transistor WSTt is turned on, and the gate voltage Vg of the drive transistor DRTr rises from the voltage Vofs to the pixel voltage Vsig (FIG. 7(D)). At this time, since the gate and source-to-source voltage Vgs of the driving transistor DRTr is larger than the threshold voltage Vth (Vgs>Vth), and the current Ids flows from the drain to the source, the source voltage Vs of the driving transistor DRTr rises ( Figure 7 (E)). By such a negative feedback action, the influence of the non-uniformity of the driving transistor DRTr (μ (movement rate) correction) is suppressed, and the gate and source voltage Vgs of the driving transistor DRTr are set to a voltage corresponding to the pixel voltage Vsig. Vemi.

其次,驅動部20在時序t6以後之期間(發光期間P4),使子像素11發光。具體而言,在時序t6中,掃描線驅動部23使掃描信號WS之電壓自高位準變化為低位準(圖7(A))。藉此,由於寫入電晶體WSTr成為斷開狀態,驅動電晶體DRTr之閘極浮動,故此後維持電容元件Cs之端子間電壓,即驅動電晶體DRTr之閘極、源極間電壓Vgs。接著,電流Ids流動於驅動電晶體DRTr且驅動電晶體DRTr之源極電壓Vs上升(圖7(E)),隨之驅動電晶體DRTr之閘極電壓Vg亦上升(圖7(D))。且,當藉由此種自舉動作,驅動電晶體DRTr之源極電壓Vs大於有機EL元件OLED之閾值電壓Vel與電壓Vcath之和(Vel+Vcath),則電流流動於 有機EL元件OLED之陽極、陰極間,從而有機EL元件OLED發光。即,源極電壓Vs根據有機EL元件OLED之元件不均一而上升,從而有機EL元件OLED發光。 Next, the drive unit 20 causes the sub-pixel 11 to emit light during the period after the timing t6 (light-emitting period P4). Specifically, at timing t6, the scanning line driving unit 23 changes the voltage of the scanning signal WS from a high level to a low level (FIG. 7(A)). As a result, since the write transistor WSTr is turned off and the gate of the drive transistor DRTr floats, the voltage between the terminals of the capacitor element Cs, that is, the gate and source-to-source voltage Vgs of the drive transistor DRTr is maintained. Then, the current Ids flows to the driving transistor DRTr and the source voltage Vs of the driving transistor DRTr rises (FIG. 7(E)), and the gate voltage Vg of the driving transistor DRTr also rises (FIG. 7(D)). Moreover, when the source voltage Vs of the driving transistor DRTr is larger than the sum of the threshold voltage Vel and the voltage Vcath of the organic EL element OLED (Vel+Vcath) by such a bootstrap action, the current flows The organic EL element OLED is between the anode and the cathode, whereby the organic EL element OLED emits light. That is, the source voltage Vs rises according to the non-uniformity of the elements of the organic EL element OLED, so that the organic EL element OLED emits light.

其後,在顯示裝置1中經過特定之期間(1幀期間)後,自發光期間P4向初始化期間P1過度。驅動部20以重複此一連串之動作之方式驅動。 Thereafter, after a predetermined period (one frame period) elapses in the display device 1, the self-light-emitting period P4 is excessive to the initialization period P1. The drive unit 20 is driven to repeat this series of actions.

如此般,在顯示裝置1中因係進行Vth校正及μ校正兩者,故可抑制起因於驅動電晶體DRTr之元件不均一之畫質之降低。又,在顯示裝置1中因係於發光期間P4,源極電壓Vs根據有機EL元件OLED之元件不均一而上升,故可抑制起因於有機EL元件OLED之元件不均一之畫質之降低。 In the display device 1, both the Vth correction and the μ correction are performed, so that the deterioration of the image quality due to the unevenness of the elements of the drive transistor DRTr can be suppressed. In addition, in the display device 1, the source voltage Vs rises in accordance with the non-uniformity of the elements of the organic EL element OLED, so that the deterioration of the image quality due to the unevenness of the elements of the organic EL element OLED can be suppressed.

(電荷泵電路32及驅動電路34之動作) (Operation of Charge Pump Circuit 32 and Drive Circuit 34)

接著,針對電荷泵電路32及驅動電路34之詳細動作進行說明。電荷泵電路32基於自位移暫存器31供給之4個掃描信號Ss,產生信號St。且,驅動電路34基於自電壓產生部33供給之電壓Vccp、及自電荷泵電路32供給之信號St,產生電源信號DS。 Next, detailed operations of the charge pump circuit 32 and the drive circuit 34 will be described. The charge pump circuit 32 generates a signal St based on the four scan signals Ss supplied from the shift register 31. Further, the drive circuit 34 generates the power supply signal DS based on the voltage Vccp supplied from the voltage generating unit 33 and the signal St supplied from the charge pump circuit 32.

位移暫存器31對電荷泵電路32供給互相相位偏移之信號SSR1~SSR4。電荷泵電路32基於信號SSR1~SSR4,產生振幅大於信號SSR1~SSR4之振幅之信號St。驅動電路34基於信號St及電壓Vccp產生電源信號DS。以下,說明其詳細內容。 The shift register 31 supplies the charge pump circuit 32 with signals SSR1 to SSR4 which are mutually phase-shifted. The charge pump circuit 32 generates a signal St having an amplitude larger than the amplitudes of the signals SSR1 to SSR4 based on the signals SSR1 to SSR4. The drive circuit 34 generates a power supply signal DS based on the signal St and the voltage Vccp. The details will be described below.

首先,在時序t11中,信號SSR1之電壓自低位準電壓VL變化為高 位準電壓VH(圖8(A))。此時,電晶體Tr2之閘極電壓(節點電壓VN1)及源極電壓(信號St)皆為電壓VL(圖8(E)、(G))。即,電晶體Tr2之閘極、源極間電壓Vgs為0V,電晶體Tr2成為斷開狀態。 First, in the timing t11, the voltage of the signal SSR1 changes from the low level voltage VL to the high level. The level voltage VH (Fig. 8(A)). At this time, the gate voltage (node voltage VN1) and the source voltage (signal St) of the transistor Tr2 are both voltages VL (Figs. 8(E), (G)). In other words, the gate voltage and the source-to-source voltage Vgs of the transistor Tr2 are 0 V, and the transistor Tr2 is turned off.

接著,在時序t12中,信號SSR2之電壓自低位準電壓VL變化為高位準電壓VH(圖8(B))。藉此,電晶體Tr1瞬變成為接通狀態,電晶體Tr1之源極電壓(節點電壓VN1)變化為電壓V1(圖8(E))。此電壓V1以以下公式表示。 Next, at timing t12, the voltage of the signal SSR2 changes from the low level voltage VL to the high level voltage VH (Fig. 8(B)). Thereby, the transistor Tr1 is instantaneously turned on, and the source voltage (node voltage VN1) of the transistor Tr1 is changed to the voltage V1 (FIG. 8(E)). This voltage V1 is expressed by the following formula.

V1=VG1-Vth1‧‧‧(1) V1=VG1-Vth1‧‧‧(1)

此處,Vth1為電晶體Tr1之閾值電壓。即,電壓V1係較電晶體Tr1之閘極電壓(電壓VG1)低電晶體Tr1之閾值電壓Vth1之電壓。即,電晶體Tr1之閘極、源極間電壓Vgs等於電晶體Tr1之閾值電壓Vth1。 Here, Vth1 is the threshold voltage of the transistor Tr1. That is, the voltage V1 is lower than the gate voltage (voltage VG1) of the transistor Tr1 by the voltage of the threshold voltage Vth1 of the transistor Tr1. That is, the gate and source voltage Vgs of the transistor Tr1 is equal to the threshold voltage Vth1 of the transistor Tr1.

再者,根據此節點電壓VN1之變化,電晶體Tr2瞬變成為接通狀態,且電晶體Tr2之源極電壓(信號St)變化成電壓V2(圖8(G))。此電壓V2以以下公式表示。 Further, according to the change of the node voltage VN1, the transistor Tr2 is instantaneously turned on, and the source voltage (signal St) of the transistor Tr2 is changed to the voltage V2 (Fig. 8(G)). This voltage V2 is expressed by the following formula.

V2=V1-Vth2=VG1-Vth1-Vth2‧‧‧(2) V2=V1-Vth2=VG1-Vth1-Vth2‧‧‧(2)

此處,Vth2為電晶體Tr2之閾值電壓。即,電壓V2係較電晶體Tr2之閘極電壓(電壓V1)低電晶體Tr2之閾值電壓Vth2之電壓。即,電晶體Tr2之閘極、源極間電壓Vgs等於電晶體Tr2之閾值電壓Vth2。 Here, Vth2 is the threshold voltage of the transistor Tr2. That is, the voltage V2 is lower than the gate voltage (voltage V1) of the transistor Tr2 by the voltage of the threshold voltage Vth2 of the transistor Tr2. That is, the gate and source voltage Vgs of the transistor Tr2 is equal to the threshold voltage Vth2 of the transistor Tr2.

如此般,由於信號St之電壓位準較低,故在驅動電路34中電晶體Tr4、Tr5維持斷開狀態。藉此,維持電源信號DS之電壓(圖8(H))。 In this manner, since the voltage level of the signal St is low, the transistors Tr4 and Tr5 are maintained in the off state in the drive circuit 34. Thereby, the voltage of the power supply signal DS is maintained (Fig. 8(H)).

其次,在時序t13中,信號SSR3之電壓自低位準電壓VL變化為高位準電壓VH(圖8(C))。藉此,此電壓變化經由電容元件C1傳至電晶體Tr1之源極,從而電晶體Tr1之源極電壓(節點電壓VN1)變化成電壓V3(圖8(E))。此電壓V3以以下公式表示。 Next, at the timing t13, the voltage of the signal SSR3 changes from the low level voltage VL to the high level voltage VH (Fig. 8(C)). Thereby, this voltage change is transmitted to the source of the transistor Tr1 via the capacitive element C1, so that the source voltage (node voltage VN1) of the transistor Tr1 is changed to the voltage V3 (FIG. 8(E)). This voltage V3 is expressed by the following formula.

V3=V1+(VH-VL)×Gain1 =VG1-Vth1+(VH-VL)×Gain1‧‧‧(3) V3=V1+(VH-VL)×Gain1 =VG1-Vth1+(VH-VL)×Gain1‧‧‧(3)

此處,Gain1係表示電容元件C1之一端之電壓變化、與電容元件C1之另一端之電壓變化之比之增益,且係由電容元件C1之電容值及電晶體Tr1、Tr2之寄生電容等所決定者。如此般,藉由電晶體Tr1之源極電壓變高,電晶體Tr1之閘極、源極間電壓Vgs變得低於電晶體Tr1之閾值電壓Vth1,且電晶體Tr1成為斷開狀態。 Here, Gain1 is a gain indicating a ratio of a voltage change at one end of the capacitor element C1 to a voltage change at the other end of the capacitor element C1, and is a capacitance value of the capacitor element C1 and a parasitic capacitance of the transistors Tr1 and Tr2. decision maker. As a result, the source voltage of the transistor Tr1 becomes higher, the gate voltage Vgs of the transistor Tr1 becomes lower than the threshold voltage Vth1 of the transistor Tr1, and the transistor Tr1 is turned off.

再者,根據此節點電壓VN1之變化,電晶體Tr2瞬變成為接通狀態,且電晶體Tr2之源極電壓(信號St)變化成電壓V4(圖8(G))。此電壓V4以以下公式表示。 Further, according to the change of the node voltage VN1, the transistor Tr2 is instantaneously turned on, and the source voltage (signal St) of the transistor Tr2 is changed to the voltage V4 (Fig. 8(G)). This voltage V4 is expressed by the following formula.

V4=V3-Vth2=VG1-Vth1-Vth2+(VH-VL)×Gain1‧‧‧(4) V4=V3-Vth2=VG1-Vth1-Vth2+(VH-VL)×Gain1‧‧‧(4)

即,電壓V4係較電晶體Tr2之閘極電壓(電壓V3)低電晶體Tr2之閾值電壓Vth2之電壓。即,電晶體Tr2之閘極、源極間電壓Vgs等於電晶體Tr2之閾值電壓Vth2。 That is, the voltage V4 is lower than the gate voltage (voltage V3) of the transistor Tr2 by the voltage of the threshold voltage Vth2 of the transistor Tr2. That is, the gate and source voltage Vgs of the transistor Tr2 is equal to the threshold voltage Vth2 of the transistor Tr2.

如此般,藉由信號St之電壓變高,電源信號DS上升(圖8(H))。具體而言,在驅動電路34中,電晶體Tr4成為接通狀態且電晶體Tr5成為斷開狀態,電源信號DS向電壓Vccp上升。在此例中,由於電晶體Tr4之開啟電阻未充分地變低,故電源信號DS之電壓成為稍微低於電壓Vccp之位準。 In this manner, the power signal DS rises by the voltage of the signal St becoming high (Fig. 8(H)). Specifically, in the drive circuit 34, the transistor Tr4 is turned on and the transistor Tr5 is turned off, and the power supply signal DS rises toward the voltage Vccp. In this example, since the turn-on resistance of the transistor Tr4 is not sufficiently lowered, the voltage of the power supply signal DS becomes a level slightly lower than the voltage Vccp.

又,根據信號SSR3之變化,在電荷泵電路32中電晶體Tr3成為接通狀態,且電晶體Tr3之源極電壓(節點電壓VN2)變化為電壓VL(圖8(F))。 Further, according to the change of the signal SSR3, the transistor Tr3 is turned on in the charge pump circuit 32, and the source voltage (node voltage VN2) of the transistor Tr3 is changed to the voltage VL (Fig. 8(F)).

其次,在時序t14中,信號SSR4之電壓自低位準電壓VL變化為高位準電壓VH(圖8(D))。藉此,電晶體Tr3瞬變成為接通狀態,且電晶體Tr3之源極電壓(節點電壓VN2)變化為電壓V5(圖8(F))。此電壓V5以以下公式表示。 Next, at timing t14, the voltage of the signal SSR4 changes from the low level voltage VL to the high level voltage VH (Fig. 8(D)). Thereby, the transistor Tr3 is instantaneously turned on, and the source voltage (node voltage VN2) of the transistor Tr3 is changed to the voltage V5 (FIG. 8(F)). This voltage V5 is expressed by the following formula.

V5=VH-Vth3‧‧‧(5) V5=VH-Vth3‧‧‧(5)

此處,Vth3為電晶體Tr3之閾值電壓。即,電壓V5係較電晶體Tr3之閘極電壓(電壓VH)低電晶體Tr3之閾值電壓Vth3之電壓。即,電晶體Tr3之閘極、源極間電壓Vgs等於電晶體Tr3之閾值電壓Vth3。 Here, Vth3 is the threshold voltage of the transistor Tr3. That is, the voltage V5 is lower than the gate voltage (voltage VH) of the transistor Tr3 by the threshold voltage Vth3 of the transistor Tr3. That is, the gate and source voltage Vgs of the transistor Tr3 is equal to the threshold voltage Vth3 of the transistor Tr3.

再者,根據此節點電壓VN2之變化,此電壓變化經由電容元件C2傳至電晶體Tr2之源極,從而電晶體Tr2之源極電壓(信號St)變化為高於電壓VH之電壓V6(圖8(G))。此電壓V6以以下公式表示。 Furthermore, according to the change of the node voltage VN2, the voltage change is transmitted to the source of the transistor Tr2 via the capacitive element C2, so that the source voltage (signal St) of the transistor Tr2 changes to a voltage V6 higher than the voltage VH (Fig. 8(G)). This voltage V6 is expressed by the following formula.

V6=V4+(V5-VL)×Gain2=VG1-Vth1-Vth2+(VH-VL)×Gain1+(VH-VL-Vth3)×Gain2‧‧‧(6) V6=V4+(V5-VL)×Gain2=VG1-Vth1-Vth2+(VH-VL)×Gain1+(VH-VL-Vth3)×Gain2‧‧‧(6)

此處,Gain2係表示電容元件C2之一端之電壓變化、與電容元件C2之另一端之電壓變化之比之增益,且係由電容元件C2之電容值及電晶體Tr2、Tr4、Tr5之寄生電容等所決定者。在此例中,增益Gain1、Gain2係以使電壓V6成為高於電壓VH之電壓之方式設定。如此般,藉由電晶體Tr2之源極電壓變高,電晶體Tr2之閘極、源極間電壓Vgs變得低於電晶體Tr2之閾值電壓Vth2,且電晶體Tr2成為斷開狀態。 Here, Gain2 is a gain indicating a ratio of a voltage change at one end of the capacitive element C2 to a voltage change at the other end of the capacitive element C2, and is a capacitance value of the capacitive element C2 and a parasitic capacitance of the transistors Tr2, Tr4, and Tr5. Wait for the decision. In this example, the gains Gain1 and Gain2 are set such that the voltage V6 becomes a voltage higher than the voltage VH. As a result, the source voltage of the transistor Tr2 becomes higher, the gate voltage Vgs of the transistor Tr2 becomes lower than the threshold voltage Vth2 of the transistor Tr2, and the transistor Tr2 is turned off.

如此般,藉由信號St成為高於電壓VH之電壓V6,驅動電路34之電晶體Tr4之開啟電阻充分地變低,且電源信號DS成為電壓Vccp(圖8(H))。 As a result, by the signal St becoming the voltage V6 higher than the voltage VH, the turn-on resistance of the transistor Tr4 of the drive circuit 34 is sufficiently lowered, and the power supply signal DS becomes the voltage Vccp (Fig. 8(H)).

接著,在時序t15中信號SSR1之電壓自高位準電壓VH變化為低位準電壓VL(圖8(A))。藉此,電晶體Tr2成為接通狀態,且電晶體Tr2之源極電壓(信號St)變化為電壓VL(圖8(G))。 Next, at time t15, the voltage of the signal SSR1 changes from the high level voltage VH to the low level voltage VL (Fig. 8(A)). Thereby, the transistor Tr2 is turned on, and the source voltage (signal St) of the transistor Tr2 is changed to the voltage VL (FIG. 8(G)).

再者,根據此信號St之電壓之變化,電源信號DS下降(圖8(H))。具體而言,在驅動電路34中電晶體Tr4成為斷開狀態,且電晶體Tr5瞬變成為接通狀態,電源信號DS變化為電壓Vini。此處電壓Vini以以下 公式表示。 Further, according to the change in the voltage of the signal St, the power supply signal DS is lowered (Fig. 8(H)). Specifically, in the drive circuit 34, the transistor Tr4 is turned off, and the transistor Tr5 is instantaneously turned on, and the power supply signal DS is changed to the voltage Vini. Here the voltage Vini is below The formula is expressed.

Vini=VL+Vth5‧‧‧(7) Vini=VL+Vth5‧‧‧(7)

此處,Vth5為電晶體Tr5之閾值電壓。即,電壓Vini係較電晶體Tr5之源極電壓(電壓VL)高電晶體Tr5之閾值電壓Vth5之電壓。即,電晶體Tr5之閘極、源極間電壓Vgs等於電晶體Tr5之閾值電壓Vth5。 Here, Vth5 is the threshold voltage of the transistor Tr5. That is, the voltage Vini is higher than the source voltage (voltage VL) of the transistor Tr5 by the threshold voltage Vth5 of the transistor Tr5. That is, the gate and source voltage Vgs of the transistor Tr5 is equal to the threshold voltage Vth5 of the transistor Tr5.

接著,在時序t16中信號SSR2之電壓自高位準電壓VH變化為低位準電壓VL(圖8(B))。藉此,電晶體Tr1成為接通狀態,且電晶體Tr1之源極電壓(節點電壓VN1)變化為電壓VL(圖8(E))。 Next, at time t16, the voltage of the signal SSR2 changes from the high level voltage VH to the low level voltage VL (Fig. 8(B)). Thereby, the transistor Tr1 is turned on, and the source voltage (node voltage VN1) of the transistor Tr1 is changed to the voltage VL (FIG. 8(E)).

其次,在時序t17中,信號SSR3之電壓自高位準電壓VH變化為低位準電壓VL(圖8(C))。藉此,此電壓變化經由電容元件C1傳至電晶體Tr1之源極(節點電壓VN1),藉此節點電壓VN1自電壓VL瞬變(圖8(E))。然而,由於電晶體Tr1為接通狀態,故此節點電壓VN1再次收縮至電壓VL。 Next, at the timing t17, the voltage of the signal SSR3 is changed from the high level voltage VH to the low level voltage VL (Fig. 8(C)). Thereby, this voltage change is transmitted to the source of the transistor Tr1 (node voltage VN1) via the capacitive element C1, whereby the node voltage VN1 is transiently changed from the voltage VL (FIG. 8(E)). However, since the transistor Tr1 is in an on state, the node voltage VN1 is again shrunk to the voltage VL.

又,藉由信號SSR3之電壓變化為低位準電壓VL,電晶體Tr3成為斷開狀態,且電晶體Tr3之源極成為高阻抗。藉此,維持電晶體Tr3之源極電壓(節點電壓VN2)(圖8(F))。 Further, when the voltage of the signal SSR3 changes to the low level voltage VL, the transistor Tr3 is turned off, and the source of the transistor Tr3 becomes high impedance. Thereby, the source voltage (node voltage VN2) of the transistor Tr3 is maintained (FIG. 8(F)).

接著,在時序t18中,信號SSR4之電壓自高位準電壓VH變化為低位準電壓VL(圖8(D))。此時,電晶體Tr3為維持斷開狀態,故維持電晶體Tr3之源極電壓(節點電壓VN2)(圖8(F)),且亦維持電晶體Tr2之源極電壓(信號St)(圖8(G))。 Next, at timing t18, the voltage of the signal SSR4 is changed from the high level voltage VH to the low level voltage VL (Fig. 8(D)). At this time, since the transistor Tr3 is maintained in the off state, the source voltage (node voltage VN2) of the transistor Tr3 is maintained (FIG. 8(F)), and the source voltage (signal St) of the transistor Tr2 is also maintained (FIG. 8). 8(G)).

電荷泵電路32及驅動電路34藉由重複以上之動作,接著產生電源信號DS。 The charge pump circuit 32 and the drive circuit 34 repeat the above operations, and then generate the power supply signal DS.

如此般,在顯示裝置1中因設置電荷泵電路32,故可將信號St之電壓升壓至高於高位準電壓VH之電壓V6,且可對驅動電路34供給振幅較大之信號St。藉此,驅動電路34將電壓Vccp作為電源信號DS輸出時,即使電壓Vccp較高之情形仍可充分地降低電晶體Tr4之開啟電 阻。即,驅動電路34可產生振幅較大之電源信號DS。 As described above, since the charge pump circuit 32 is provided in the display device 1, the voltage of the signal St can be boosted to a voltage V6 higher than the high level voltage VH, and the signal St having a large amplitude can be supplied to the drive circuit 34. Thereby, when the drive circuit 34 outputs the voltage Vccp as the power supply signal DS, the turn-on of the transistor Tr4 can be sufficiently reduced even if the voltage Vccp is high. Resistance. That is, the drive circuit 34 can generate the power supply signal DS having a large amplitude.

又,如此般,由於電荷泵電路32及驅動電路34基於振幅較小之掃描信號Ss,可產生振幅較大之電源信號DS,故例如,可降低位移暫存器31等之電源電壓,從而可降低顯示裝置1之消耗電力。 Further, since the charge pump circuit 32 and the drive circuit 34 can generate the power supply signal DS having a large amplitude based on the scan signal Ss having a small amplitude, for example, the power supply voltage of the shift register 31 can be reduced. The power consumption of the display device 1 is lowered.

又,在電荷泵電路32中因係設置2個電容元件C1、C2,故可產生振幅更大之信號St。即,在電荷泵電路32中,因係於時序t13中使用電容元件C1使信號St之電壓升壓,於時序t14中使用電容元件C2使信號St之電壓再次升壓,故與1次升壓之情形相比,可將信號St之電壓升壓至更高之位準,從而可產生振幅較大之信號St。 Further, since the two capacitor elements C1 and C2 are provided in the charge pump circuit 32, the signal St having a larger amplitude can be generated. In other words, in the charge pump circuit 32, the voltage of the signal St is boosted by the capacitive element C1 at the timing t13, and the voltage of the signal St is boosted again by the capacitive element C2 at the timing t14, so that the voltage is boosted once. In contrast, the voltage of the signal St can be boosted to a higher level, so that a signal St having a larger amplitude can be generated.

又,在電荷泵電路32中,因設置電晶體Tr3且於時序t17中將電晶體Tr3設為斷開狀態,故可使信號St不會因時序t18之信號SSR4之下降而變化。藉此,由於可降低電源信號DS之波形之混亂,故可降低顯示裝置1之畫質下降之可能。 Further, in the charge pump circuit 32, since the transistor Tr3 is provided and the transistor Tr3 is turned off at the timing t17, the signal St can be prevented from being changed by the decrease of the signal SSR4 at the timing t18. Thereby, since the waveform of the power signal DS can be reduced, the image quality of the display device 1 can be reduced.

[效果] [effect]

在以上之本實施形態中,因係設置電荷泵電路故可產生振幅較大之電源信號DS。 In the above embodiment, since the charge pump circuit is provided, the power supply signal DS having a large amplitude can be generated.

在本實施形態中,因係於電荷泵電路中設置2個電容元件,故可產生振幅較大之信號St。 In the present embodiment, since two capacitor elements are provided in the charge pump circuit, a signal St having a large amplitude can be generated.

在本實施形態中,因係於電荷泵電路中設置電晶體Tr3,故可降低電源信號之波形之混亂,從而可降低顯示裝置之畫質下降之可能。 In the present embodiment, since the transistor Tr3 is provided in the charge pump circuit, the waveform of the power supply signal can be reduced, and the image quality of the display device can be reduced.

雖在上述實施形態中,於電荷泵電路32中設置電晶體Tr3,但並非限定於此,亦可替代此,例如如圖9所示般省略電晶體Tr3。在此電荷泵電路32B中,電容元件C1之另一端連接於輸入端子SR3。又,電容元件C2之另一端連接於輸入端子SR4。此情形時,雖根據輸入於輸入端子SR4之信號SSR4之轉變,於信號St中存在瞬變,且電源信號DS 亦可能瞬時變化,但在允許此種變化之情形時可應用該構成。 In the above embodiment, the transistor Tr3 is provided in the charge pump circuit 32. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Alternatively, for example, the transistor Tr3 may be omitted as shown in FIG. In this charge pump circuit 32B, the other end of the capacitive element C1 is connected to the input terminal SR3. Further, the other end of the capacitive element C2 is connected to the input terminal SR4. In this case, although there is a transient in the signal St according to the transition of the signal SSR4 input to the input terminal SR4, and the power supply signal DS It is also possible to change instantaneously, but this configuration can be applied when such a change is allowed.

[變化例2] [Variation 2]

雖在上述實施形態中,電荷泵電路32基於4個掃描信號Ss產生信號St,但並非限定於此,亦可替代此基於3個以下或5個以上之掃描信號Ss產生信號St。於以下,作為一例詳細地說明基於2個掃描信號Ss產生信號St之情形。 In the above embodiment, the charge pump circuit 32 generates the signal St based on the four scanning signals Ss. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and instead of generating the signal St based on three or less or five or more scanning signals Ss. Hereinafter, a case where the signal St is generated based on the two scanning signals Ss will be described in detail as an example.

Each of the charge pump circuits 32C generates a signal St having an amplitude larger than the amplitude of the scanning signal Ss based on the two scanning signals Ss. Specifically, for example, the charge pump circuit 32C(k) generates a signal St(k) based on the two scanning signals Ss(n) and Ss(n+1). Similarly, the charge pump circuit 32(C)(k+1) generates the signal St(k+1) based on the two scan signals Ss(n+1) and Ss(n+2). Each of the charge pump circuits 32C has an input terminal SR1, SR2 to which two scanning signals Ss are input, and an output terminal Out of the output signal St. For example, the scan signal Ss(n) is input to the input terminal SR1 of the charge pump circuit 32C(k), and the scan signal Ss(n+1) is input to the input terminal SR2.

A DC voltage VG1 is supplied to the gate of the transistor Tr7, a drain is connected to the input terminal SR1, and a source is connected to one end of the capacitive element C4 and connected to the output terminal Out.

One end of the capacitive element C4 is connected to the source of the transistor Tr7 and is connected to the output terminal Out, and the other end is connected to the source of the transistor Tr8.

即使為本變化例之電荷泵電路32C,仍可與上述實施形態之電荷泵電路32相同地供給振幅較大之信號St。 Even in the charge pump circuit 32C of the present modification, the signal St having a large amplitude can be supplied in the same manner as the charge pump circuit 32 of the above-described embodiment.

[變化例3] [Variation 3]

雖在上述實施形態中使用電荷泵電路32構成電源線驅動部26,但並非限定於此,亦可替代此,或除此之外,使用電荷泵電路32構成掃描線驅動部23。 Although the power source line driving unit 26 is configured by the charge pump circuit 32 in the above embodiment, the power line driving unit 26 is not limited thereto, and the scanning line driving unit 23 may be configured by using the charge pump circuit 32.
